Still surprised to be living in France, from Liverpool, childless middle aged cat lady. Tennis, politics, psychology, cryptic crosswords, not enough hours in the week for all.

I feel like I'm living in a parallel universe at the moment. Up is down...

Sky Tennis just reported his face was displayed in the changeover and it's the loudest the crowd have been yet, mostly booing. "Some cheers but a lot of boos"

Is Trump being cancelled at the US Open? The camera is doing the rounds on the celebs faces and not doing his, so far. They just can't go there can they. I wonder if that ego maniac is sat there waiting for his turn. I bloody hope so.

I heard the boos, don't let me wake up tomorrow to news that I didn't! Applause to the fans in Arthur Ashe who made their feelings heard ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘

Some players getting super cranky at the US open. Is it like getting to the final term at college and you can sniff the holidays, but it's not coming around fast enough? We can all relate.

This! Exactly.

Woke up to find that tennis nearly collapsed in NY, crowd booing the ref and Medvedev sealing his demise. Bien jouรฉ Bonzi, can't imagine how difficult that must have been.

That is entertaining, appreciated. But again, show them once, job done, I acknowledged them the first time.

Haha, but how will I find out Seal likes tennis?

How about this for an idea, we only need to see a famous person in a tennis crowd one time per match. Once the camera operator has covered one they are subsequently barred from going there again.

Did you just read my mind? I was just saying the same, except you articulated it better. Vacuous commentary of very little value.

As a republican I can't agree more. Sadly our grand slam is tied into old aristocratic bullshit. Also tennis tickets in general are a problem, empty seats up to the outer rims of the arena, no refunds for rain cancelled matches in certain places, too pricey to start with. Minefield

Woop woop! You've just levelled up. Good find.

Another top drawer insight by Andre Agassi as Andrew Castle is doing his who's-who in the royal box: "everyone watching cares more about the tennis than they do about all that"
๐Ÿ‘Œ Yup

He's doing the commentary on BBC, sorry you got Mac, he usually does BBC but not missing him, Andre is full on brilliant

Andre Agassi's comment, "Carlos Alcaraz has mitts!" has made my day.

Seriously though, what an insightful and truly interesting commentary by Andre throughout ๐Ÿ‘ more please.

Damn, Cilic is dominating and Jack isn't having his 2nd set uplift.

We were born on a planet abundant enough for everyone to thriveโ€ฆ

But the rich and powerful carved it up, waged war on what they couldnโ€™t own, called it scarcity

โ€ฆand sold us the illusion that we must compete for crumbs.

Outrageous shots Carlos! What a final. Setting up the stories to come of another great tennis rivalry.

Why not keep the European title with a few pages section called The New World? Or a central pull out with the red title, then see how that goes. Feeling sad to lose the European bit. It's what I connected with foremost.

Thank god Hamilton at the Liverpool Empire was truly incredible because I missed the incredible Draper/Monfils match and I don't feel too bad about it, only this show could do that. I've a new yardstick.

Thoroughly enjoying Fearnley v Warwinka. Jacob playing top drawer tennis. Stan, well he's just STAN! I could watch him hit a dusty rug with a brush, beautiful.

Ruing the decision to not go to Geneva Gonet today, the only 2 Brits I've never seen in real life on the running order. Dagnammit, damn and shoot me now. ๐Ÿ™ƒ
